The wait for open move command sometimes doesn't work and I can't figure out why. My script:

Label Start
  If ... 
        Wait for player to input Special Command
     If ... 
           Wait for player to face northwest
        Set var "_MyScriptX" = _X-1
        Set var "_MyScriptY" = _Y-1
        Teleport to 0,0
        Set var "_MyScriptX" = _X-2
        Set var "_MyScriptY" = _Y-2
        If ... 
              Wait for open move northwest
           Teleport Player to 0,0
        Else 
           Speech "That doesnt work...",Normal,Player,0,.
        If End 
     If End 
  If End 
  Set var "_MyScriptX" = -9999
  Set var "_MyScriptY" = -9999
  Wait 0
  Go to Start

This is supposed to teleport the player 2 tiles northwest if he is facing northwest and the destination is an open move. For some reason I most of the time can teleport into walls though.

Pretty sure the problem is that "Wait for open move" 's direction is overwritten by one of the Myscript variables (I forget which one). You'll have to reset them both to -9999 before doing the check and then set them to what's needed for the teleport after doing the check.

When dealing with myscript it's generally a good strategy to reset them before doing any command that has numbers you input (including things like directions, a location or location range, and some other things you might not expect) whatsoever unless you want said command to read whatever's in myscript at that time.
